UM Health-Sparrow, in partnership with East Lansing Public Schools, celebrated the opening of the new East Lansing Public Schools Health Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

We are proud to celebrate the opening of a second school-based health clinic aimed at improving access to health care for young people.

The on-site clinic, operated by UM Health-Sparrow team members, will provide comprehensive medical care to students and non-students alike ages 5-21, and up to age 26 for those with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This initiative represents a significant investment in community health and a direct approach to removing health care barriers for students and their families.

The clinic is designed to address key challenges such as transportation, missed class time, and parents needing to take time off work for appointments.

The East Lansing Public Schools Health Center marks a major step forward in leveraging community partnerships to foster student health and academic achievement.

GAME-CHANGER IN LANSING!

We celebrated this week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new UM Health-Sparrow Comprehensive Breast Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide high-quality, compassionate care.

The 9,000-square-foot center, located on the first floor of the UM Health-Sparrow Professional Building, unites a full spectrum of breast health services in one accessible location. The facility features new technology, including advanced 3D mammography, additional ultrasound stations and innovative biopsy tools.

The center is a largely women-led department focused on empowering patients and improving early detection of breast cancer. A key feature is its focus on patient comfort and convenience, with private changing rooms and separate waiting areas to ensure privacy.

This incredible facility is made possible by the University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Foundation Women Working Wonders (W3), a group of philanthropic women who have done so many incredible things for our health system throughout the years.

The UM Health-Sparrow Comprehensive Breast Center is now open and scheduling appointments. Services include screening and diagnostic mammograms, ultrasound, biopsy services and treatment planning.
